AS Roma vs Lazio Prediction & Betting tips
Italian football fans shouldn’t do too much on Sunday. On the 21st day of the current season there are two top games to be seen. The matchday ends with the duel between Naples and Juventus Turin. Right in front of it there is the explosive “derby della Capitale” – AS Rome welcomes Lazio Rome to the hot dance in the eternal city.
In recent years the Giallorossi of AS Roma have always had the supremacy in the capital. In 2019/20 this changes a bit and Lazio Rome is not only much more constant, but also significantly more successful. Although Lazio played one game less, the advantage over the city rivals is seven points.
Lazio will be treated as a “guest” at the Olimpico Stadium on Sunday, but the Inzaghi team are considered favorites. The game starts at 17 p.m.
AS Rome:
A home game is not necessarily an advantage for the Roma this season. The team of head coach Paulo Fonseca collects significantly more points abroad than in front of their home crowd . Three of the four defeats of the season were at the Olimpico Stadium.
Most recently, the team lost to both Turin FC and Juventus. Should the derby be lost, the Giallorossi would lose three home games in a row for the first time since April 2005.
With 38 points from 20 games, the capital team is currently in fourth place. The lead over the playfully strong Lombards from Atalanta Bergamo is only three points. The Champions League course is by no means secured. The mood in the Giallorossi camp is not particularly euphoric these days.
This is not only due to the latest results (Roma failed at Juventus in Coppa Italia during the week), but above all to the personnel situation. The Italians are plagued by enormous injuries. Youngster Nicolo Zaniolo tore his cruciate ligament a few days ago. But players like Davide Zappacosta, Henrik Mkhitaryan, Javier Pastore and Diego Perotti are also not available to Fonseca these days.
The squad width is now very thin and the intense English weeks are now clearly noticeable. There are no longer many rotation options. No ideal conditions before the prestigious derby. For AS Roma and Lazio Rome, a successful tip on the Giallorossi would definitely be a surprise given the current form of the two teams.
Lazio Rome:
The capital elf is now the old woman’s first pursuer after losing points. Unlike Juventus and Inter Milan, Lazio have played one less game so far. The deficit to the Dominator in recent years is currently six points. A win in the catch-up game against Hellas Verona would overtake Lazio Inter.
Lazio has been in outstanding form in Serie A for months. Meanwhile, Simone Inzaghi’s team has celebrated eleven league wins in a row. Only four times did a team win twelve league games en suite (three times Juventus, one time Inter Milan) – and this team then celebrated the title win in Serie A at the end of the season. 3-draw against Atalanta Bergamo in mid-October.
Ciro Immobile is primarily responsible for this success. Anyone who knows the Italian language will know what “immobile” means. Translated into German, this means “immobile”. If you think of Ciro Immobile in the BVB jersey, you will find this name quite appropriate. In 2011, coach Zdenek Zeman is even said to have told Ciro Immobile that he will never play center-forward with him under this name.
The days of mockery have long been over for the Italian international. Meanwhile, newspapers such as the Gazzetto dello Sport are titled “Immobile – the King of Rome”. The fact that Lazio can actually dream of Scudetto this season is due to the outstanding performance of the former BVB flop (three goals in 24 games). The 29-year-old has delivered no less than 23 goals and six assists in 19 games in this Serie A season.
And the dream of the Scudetto is also evidently displayed by the Romans. Simone Inzaghi does not refuse to put the “M word” in her mouth and believes in winning the title. In view of the current constitution, everything must be trusted to the Romans. In the explosive derby between AS Roma and Lazio, a tip on the three-way market on Lazio seems to be a good choice.
